In this Roundtable, three European experts will discuss what challenges Europe is facing with accommodating three waves of refugees (Ukrainians, Middle Easterners, and Russians).
Since the beginning of Russia’s War in Ukraine, new waves of migrants fled their homes in the East to flee to the West. Europe has been flooded by Ukrainian women and children seeking shelter from bombing and death, by Russian citizens trying to avoid mobilization in the army, and by Middle Easterners and North Africans running away from destruction and hunger. This panel discussion with scholars will address these dynamic developments happening on the old continent. The discussion will focus on the different sociological profiles of the refugees, their acceptance by national governments and civil society, and the challenge faced by the EU to accommodate and protect the migrants’ human rights in the midst of an unprecedented energy crisis.
